The Surprising Manner In Which the Bat
terry ID Boys Treated an Old Comrade.
A decidedly pleasant event occurred at
the Stamm House, last evening, which
had its touching side as well. A number
of the members of Battery d, (Carln's
Battery learning several days since that
Mr.. c. c. Theaker, a comrade OF the Bat
terry who had not been seen by the Wheel
ing members for q number of years, was to
visit the city, and as he was a great favor
lite among them they determined to give
him q pleasant surprise. So hearing that
he had arrived, last evening some fourteen
or fifteen OF the members OF the Battery
called upon him at the Stamm House,
where he and his wife are quartered.
After q warm interchange OF greetings,
Capt. Henry Seamon arose, and on behalf
of the other members presented MIR.
Theaker with a handsome gold mounted
cane AS 3 token of their esteem aud regard
for him as a camrade, friend and soldier.
Mr.. Theaker was so overcome with sur
prise and emotion that he was almost I'M
able to respond, but he managed to eX-
press his feelings very neatly, and there
were not many dry eyes in the room ON
the occasion.
MI. Theaker now holds a position in the
Auditors Department in Washington, d.
c., and he and his wife are here on a visit.
Last evenings affair was indeed a pleasant
one to him and the comrades he had not
met for many years, and will doubtless be
long remembered.

Not Injured by the Weber Fallure-An
Authoritative Statement.

Not Injured by the Weber Failure-An
Authoritative Statement.
NEW YORK, September 21.-George G.
Williams, President of the Chemical Ma
tional Bank, denied to-day the published
dispatches that the hank was interested in
a6y way in the failure Of the Weber Brew
ing Company, Of Cincinnati. He explained
the only possible grounds for the statement
in this way:
The Fidelity Bank of Cincinnati applied
for help when it was in distress and we
made a loan to it. The bulk of the in
debtedness has been paid and the balance
will be met in thirty days. On security
from the very first was ample, and now we
have collateral worth ten times probably the
sum still due us. Among the securities
there wa some paper of the brewing COM
any which we put into the hands of our
Cincinnati lawyer for the simple purpose
of avoiding responsibility to the receiver
of the Fidelity Bank. We should have
turned the notes over to him, but the Bank
Of Montreal has laid an attachment on the
surplus in our hands after our loan has
been discharged. If it was not for this we
could soon give him a basketful Of securi-
ties. The receiver could not bring suit on
the notes, Of course, and if we did not do
so he might afterwards hold us responsible
for neglect. Our counsel advised us to
avoid this responsibility, but we have no
interest in the failure Of the brewing COM
pany."

1t had been at first supposed that the mat

the meeting was continued through yester

Tuesday President Weihe, Of the ANAL

the men and the firm of over the making
of steel nails in one of the departments.
The mill was consequently closed down

satisfactorily settled yesterday and work
resumed yesterday.

TBRpAY MORNING.
A Pennsylvania Man Robbed in a South Side Bagnlo'
A Preacher Meets the Same Fate-hlScsl-
laneOus Criminal News.

About : o'clock yesterday morning
several employees of the Ohio
River railroad while engaged in
switching cars at Belleville, W. Va, a
few miles below Parkersburg, discov-
cred the body of a man lying in a box car,
which was switched off on q side track.
He was apparently dead, and upon ex-
animation they found that life was extinct,
although the body was still quite warm,
showing that the heart bad not ceased to
beat long before that time. Near the
mans right hand lay revolver, one cham
Der of which was empty, and when an ex-
animation was made by a physician who
was called, it was found that death was
caused by a pistol ball in the left side,
which had passed Immediately through
the heart. The revolver was a British
bull dog, 35Or AZ calibre, and was evident
ly not much used.
Everything pointed TO suicide, and
when later circumstances were learned
there was no doubt left that the man had
taken his own life. The temperatureOi the
body indicated that the deed must have
committed about two hours before it was
discovered.
The remains were that of a man aged
about ffty-five years, five feet eight inches
tall, smooth face and neatly dressed in a
blue suit. There was nothing whatever
found upon his clothing that gave a clue
to his identity, but a duplex check for
fare from MeldAhls to Harris Ferry,
which was issued on Monday. The man
had been seen wandering about Belleville
on Tuesday looking as ii lie had been on
an extended spree, and he was Emporium
ing people for whisky or wine. The re-
mains were cared for and will be buried at
the expense of the county unless friends or
relatives are discovered.

damned, crammed and crowded into
every available place for seating or stand
ing, the immense audience had gathered
TO honor and witness the performance of
Haverly's Minstrels, which in numerical
strength of artists and COMPLETENESS of pro-
gramme, is one of decided excellence,
thoroughly new, and of such general ex-
ceptance as to keep the audience in a roaI,
demonstrating a warmth in the reception,
which plainly showed that admirers of
MINISTRIES were hungering for the kind of
entertainment presented.
The first part Of the programme was
unique, comical and sweetly musical, open
ing with a familiar overture, passing Oh to
other vocal and instrumental work, which
Is unnecessary to enumerate in detail.
George Wood, Hilton, The Four Musical
Kings, Howe & Doyle, The Worlds Trio
and Master Percy, were enthusiastically
encored, and the spectacular march by
various members of the company, who 90
through the marches and counter marches,
with q very neat manual exercise, was an
execution of wonderful precision and
timely accuracy.-ChicdqO Tribune.
Harverly's Minstrels will be at the
Opera House next Monday evening.
